You ever have clothes that you wish were a size or two smaller? This tip is what I do to all my clothes that I want them to fit snug.
Simply turn the clothing you wish to alter inside out. Then you can mark it with a pen, pin, or staple it on the seams where you want to take it in.
Then you can sew down following the existing seam. If you are doing pants I recommend doing both sides to balance for even proportions. If your doing a blouse or top then sew from the underarms and all the way down.
This doesn't take long and requires very little skill. Best of all it beats the price in purchasing another pair of pants and the amount of time it takes to grow into them.

I have lost 93 pounds in the past 2.5 years and this will be so helpful. Thanks for the tip!
What a great idea! I have lost a lot of weight (not by choice)and this will make it so much easier for me to take them up.Thanks for the info!
Thanks for the tip. I have lost quite a lot of weight, but have some clothing I would like to keep. This would allow me to wear them once again.
It not only saves on buying a new item, but it beats the cost of bringing something in to have it altered. Most likely you can do as well as someone else, and if you need to make any adjustments, just rip out the stitching and try again!
